Perioperative Audio for Anaesthesia
NCT05291832 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
Induction and emergence from propofol can be a difficult process for patients and healthcare workers, and long recovery times in particular can limit the rate of care. A double-blinded randomized controlled trial with 220 patients undergoing elective colonoscopy or endoscopy is proposed to test the impact of perioperative music on patient experience and recovery from propofol anaesthesia. Patients will be assigned at random to hear either rhythmic auditory stimulation (music designed to drive neural oscillations) or spectrally-matched noise (sound that produces the same levels of activity at the cochlea but not expected to drive neural entrainment). Bone-conduction headphones will be administered in pre-operation waiting and will play music (or matched noise) until propofol administration ceases, at which time the music (or noise) will be switched: Pre- and post-operational music is designed to be sedative and stimulative, respectively, created with methods that drive auditory entrainment to promote those states. Outcome measures will be recovery time and the patient's subjective experience (taken via survey).

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT05291832
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT05291832 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 329 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Brain.fm, which has 1 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 1 condition, with Anesthesia appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which Brain.fm Music is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT05291832 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Texas. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
